About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find a cape. Chuck it on. Save the world. Get the girl. Avoid developing an alcohol problem in the process...

ABOUT ME

Here is a condensed breakdown of the type of person I am:

*spontaneous
*i'm a daydreamer
*i am creative (writing - books and song lyrics)
*love creating mischief
*inherently optimistic
*i love watching someone getting excited about their dreams and ambitions in life
*i am accepting and tolerant of all people
*i don't care if i'm embarrassing myself doing something
*i say what's on my mind, instead of holding back

Yeah. There's a small idea of what I'm like!

Oh, one more thing. I will NEVER mass send CouchSurfing requests. They will always be personalized. It's the least I can do!!

PHILOSOPHY

With me, it is very simple. What you see is what you get. I say whatever is on my mind or in my heart. I trust and like people immediately, and I'm a very optimistic person.

I love the thought/concept of being untethered. Of creating your own destiny and cutting your own path in life. I like the concept of fate.

I think there are many people out that that are afraid of risks and the unknown. I am not one of those people. If there is something I want to do, I do it.

And I think that if you cut spontaneity out our your life you are simply missing out on some of the best impromptu moments and situations you will ever experience.

I love life and enjoy meeting new people. And talking. I can talk a lot if I'm in the mood. Other times I can just chill and take it easy.

I believe being both energetic and vibrant and also laid back is at the core of being an Australian.
